Shorts Race
The idea for "We Cry Together," according to Lamar, “started with the film first, and the music came after.”
The event, sponsored by ShortsTV + Nat Geo Doc Films, featured eight films eligible for Academy Award consideration.
For nearly 40 years, film festivals have played a critical role in catapulting short films to Oscar glory.
IndieWire, ShortsTV, and National Geographic Documentary Films are teaming up for a short film showcase as part of LA3C on December 9. Here are the filmmakers showcased in the lineup.
ShortsTV founder Carter Pilcher helped discover some of Hollywood's biggest directors, but he sees shorts as more than a stepping stone to feature filmmaking.
The event, scheduled for December 9, will lead into Penske Media's LA3C music, arts, and food festival.
